(57) A plant for the electrochemical forming of lead-acid batteries comprising:
- an endless-belt conveyor (2), movable in steps between a loading station (ST1) in
which, upon each stoppage between two steps, it receives at least one row (R) of batteries
(B) to be formed, and a discharge station (ST2) in which, upon each stoppage, it enables
at least one row of formed batteries (B) to be removed,
- a plurality of support elements (20) which are fixed to one side of the belt conveyor
(2) and each of which can be associated with a row (R) of batteries and is provided
with a hydraulic connector (21) with an inlet (21a) and an outlet (21b), as well as
electrical-connection members (23,24;29,34) which can cooperate with fixed, direct-current
voltage-distribution means (30;25-27),
- electrical-interconnection cables (29,31;33,34) for connecting the batteries (B) of
each row in series between the electrical-connection members (23,24) of the associated
support element (20),
- a plurality of hydraulic interconnection and distribution devices (40) each of which
can connect the outlet (21b) of the hydraulic connector (21) of a support element
(20) to the inlet openings (47) of the cells (58) of the batteries (B) of a row (R),
and
- a plurality of electrolyte-dispensing devices (60) which are disposed in fixed locations
along the conveyor (2) and each of which, upon each stoppage of the conveyor, can
be connected to the inlet (21a) of the hydraulic connector (21) of a corresponding
support element (20) of the conveyor (2).
